[Bug 648835] New: KDE and GNOME shutdown widgets not working
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=648835 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=648835#c0 Summary: KDE and GNOME shutdown widgets not working Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.3 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.3 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: sb@informatik.uni-kiel.de QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.1.10) Gecko/20100506 SUSE/3.5.10-0.1 Firefox/3.5.10 Both the KDE and the GNOME shutdown widgets only take me back to the KDM login screen instead of shutting the system down. Shutting down from KDM usually works, but yesterday it gave me a command line prompt. Logging in as root and using "shutdown -h now" got me "The system is halted", but the computer did not power down. After a moment, I used the power switch to shut down manually. My system is an i7-920 on an Asus P6T motherboard. Shutdown used to work well in OpenSuSE 11.1, skipped 11.2. I saw the same problem (KDE shutdown widget leading back to KDM instead of shutting down) on a Dell Latitude notebook running 11.3 in the x86-64 version. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start KDE 2. Klick on red shutdown button 3. Choose "Turn off computer" Actual Results: Returns me to the KDM login screen. Expected Results: Shut down system and switch off. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

if you want poweroff, use poweroff.
Since "shutdown -h now" works most of the time, at least there seems to be an inconsistency.
Did you change any software?
No, just standard updates via yast. Maybe there are two independent problems: 1. The KDE and GNOME widgets sometimes seem to fail to tell KDM to shut down. 2. The kernel sometimes seems to fail to power off the computer. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

--- Comment #8 from Steffen Börm
I have no idea what to make out of your bug. you seem to be the only one with this problem - sometimes.
Originally I was using KDE, but had GNOME installed as well. Then I switched to GNOME sessions, but was still running KDM. Now I have switched back to KDE, and shutdown seems to work as expected. Could it be that the GNOME shutdown widget is not able to talk properly to the KDM session manager? Recently the kernel powers off the computer correctly. Maybe one of the recent kernel updates cleared up this issue. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
